That's a beautiful piece. I would have a hard time slicing it too. I can't wait to see what you do with it! Love your videos. Thank you for sharing so many different techniques!
LOL, great piece, in the upper right corner at the end of the video, there is a grumpy old person face that just took off a pair of sun glasses is wearing a hat and has flowing long hair. Mesh melts are fun to do. Great way to use up scrap.
Great looking piece, I will definitely have a crack at it, every time I've tried s/s I had problems with spalling when the kiln starts cooling down. The mesh seems to stop that happening so I am going to hunt some s/s, I'm guessing the grade won't matter as long as it' s a small mesh
Hi Paul. I've had that with some stainless, though only rarely. It could be the grade. I've noticed some items I've purchased as stainless and they rust! And that's unexpected. If this is stainless it is probably a good grade to be used in a heater. And the heater was perhaps 50 years old so probably better back then. Seems things are made to minimum tolerances today and don't last. But it could be the mesh structure as well. Let us know how you go.
Any stainless steel wire mesh can be used. If you search for stainless meah or stainless steel screen as we call it here in the states you can find many gris size and wire diameter siEs from supply houses.
@@RocketRoseArtJosh actually and no worries buddy I'm excited to try a melt using scrap with some rectangular grid I found I'm going to put the rectangles at an angle to give the final billet alot of color movement. Also if you experiment with the percentage of opaque and transparent you use you can end up with some nice variety as well. Keep up the great work buddy
I'm about to do up a bunch of pattern bars using scrap furnace glass and some ninety six coe fusing glass, should be quite interesting I'll let you know how it goes.
@@joshschneider9766 My apogies. Don't know where John come from. Maybe I was thinking about my son. Anyway, bad on my part. I've been looking at that mesh recently, thinking about what to do next. The mix adds some extra thought.
Another nice video, Jeff. I’ve had some luck using terra cotta pots, and terra cotta pot trays, with drilled holes into the bottom. I’ve tried some wire mesh, but looking for an affordable source. I don’t have an old heater to dismantle! 🙂
Hi Jill. Try a metal recycle yard. They have all sorts of old things they recycle. I've got sheet and wire stainless from there. And some other things not relevant to fused glass 😁
@@jillh2858a bunch of metal supply factories here offer it by the square foot I presume there are makers in Europe who will sell by square meter if you search
@@RocketRoseArt The place I saw the TH-cam was Bonny Doon Fused Glass Tools. it means that the glass cannot penetrate the mesh (too dense) it forms an organic object on the metal itself. There are videos on TH-cam where the artist fuses a large leaf. He then folds the mesh where it has bumps and lumps on its surface. He fuses the leaf again and it slumps on the surface of the tight mess. The leaf looks more natural as a result. The stainless steel mesh appears to be Kiskis 304 window screen mesh on Amazon. Enjoy your videos and experiments. Bill
@@williambailey558 I just tried to find these on TH-cam but no luck. I'm obviously searching for the wrong thing. Can you help with a link or search term? I'd love to see the technique.

Hi Rene. Still thinking about the slicing 🤔
I love your videos. This is stunning!
Hope it helps Blair. Always happy to share.
Thanks!
Thanks Keith for your support. I appreciate in these hard times that's a difficult decision but just be sure it is appreciated.
Great little experiment, mesmerising effect.
Hi Philip. Great fun too. Always love seeing the result.
Thanks, Jeff. Looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing the calculations for glass weight.
Glad it was helpful!
Beautifully patterned
Thanks Suz
Thank you! I wish I could post a picture of what I did with this. Gorgeous!
Hi. If you go to RocketRoseArt.com you can use the Contact form and send it to me. I would love to share it with everyone.

You have a better imagination than me. Wish I could see that 😀
The Boony Doon Fused Glass Tool glass and stainless steel mesh is IMG 5390. They call the product adjustamold.
Hi William. Thanks for that. Still can't find the videos though!
Legal, gostei, muito
Obrigada
Amazing! I don’t think that I could stand to slice it up.
Hi Gwen. Yes, I'm still thinking about that.

that is beautiful, could that be sliced and pressed? However i also would have a hard time cutting it up! WOW Beautiful!
Hi Elaine. Certainly could be sliced, but never tried pressing.

If you have a hardware store near by, most of them have stainless steel mesh in different sizes for literally a few bucks per foot.

@@queenbrooksie I mostly find galvanized mesh.
Hi Jill just search "stainless steel mesh supplier near me" in google

Use it as it is. Too pretty to cut up
Too late. But one of the final pieces is beautiful and a favourite.
If you use stainless steel mesh #304, all of the glass would remain on the mesh forming an organic shape.
Hi William. Not sure what you mean 'remain on the mesh'. You have me intrigued.

@@RocketRoseArt working on it. Get it to you tomorrow.
Good video, I don’t like to follow the rules. Enjoy
Hi Melissa. I've decided to slice it up. I can always make another one, and it may be even nicer. 👍
